    "What are they doing in Antartica ? Seriously" ( followed by a lot of ramblings ) "It is bigger than Europe and the US put together" ... And this is how a tea party ( sorta ) turned into a classroom about map-projections... Well at least I had something interesting to do, currently showing them a YouTube vid. Wow, for some reason I feel like THAT lazy teacher now, you know the kind I am talking about, we all know at least one

      @critialcloudkicker I had only videos (films) at the end of the school year because there wasn't any teachable content. I have to say that only few teachers did this. Mostly my English teachers did this because they could throw in an English film and pretend that it's educational.

        @adiwan ... That is even less educational than handing out 1984 to everyone and letting each student read a page, and rate them on howmuch they need to work on reading out loud.

          @critialcloudkicker Interpreting old literature "classics" was the worst.

            @adiwan I am not talking about interpreting. I am talking about reading out loud. It has bound to be better than watching whichever movie the teacher fancies that day.
